Part of the fun of enjoying a meal is dressing for it. The right outfit sets the mood. I think the food just tastes better when I’m dressed appropriately for the occation. My ensemble for a night out with the girls is very different from the one I would wear to a Sunday boozy brunch. Here,…

When your Monday workday ends at 1 AM, your week isn’t off to the best start. It’s been a rough one so I’m very happy we’re close to the weekend. On the bright side, I have the most supportive friends, family, and boyfriend. When this week tore me down, they swooped right in to build…

Despite a beautiful Indian Summer weekend of temperatures in the low 80s, we’re really beginning to see a shift in the weather. I don’t mind the occasion to pull the cardis out of my closet, but my body is not reacting so well to the change. I’m in the process of staving of a cold…

Somehow every “calm” event this weekend turned into an aggressive boozing activity. Happy hour and date night on Friday and Saturday left me begging for more sleep the next morning and brunch on Sunday escalated into me passing out at 8 PM. I’m not sure why I decided to act 19 instead of 29 but…
